Solo Jeweler on roads less traveled
Do you know or have you hosted this user?
My name is Catherine and I just recently lost my co=pilot Sitka, my Swiss shepherd. I will miss his companionship. 2019 is my first year traveling without him. Have to get use to traveling alone.
The hubby decided this on the road travel isn't for him; however, he might accompany me on a short weekend trip. I am retired teacher living in Cape Coral, Florida. I have worked with high school students in all areas of social justice and now more than ever I need to find safe places to be. Boondockers Welcome has been a wonderful resource while out on the road. Sitka and I use to head out for months at a time to escape the heat of SoFlo. I took my first solo trip the fall of 2016 to escape the oppressive heat and headed into the Blue Ridge Mountains. I drove the Eastern Seaboard and Outer Banks back to SoFlo. It was 32 days of wonder and bliss. 2017 took us to Wyoming and 2018 we were back in the eastern mountains. This summer my 10 year old grand daughter will hit the road with me for part of the time.
I look forward to meeting wonderful new folks and finding community all along the road.

Not traveling with me.
Favorite Boondocking Locations
I love travelling period! Ok, that's an exclamation mark.... I almost never travel interstate and the rural highways and bi-ways are my heartbeat. I had a travel trailer before the class B and spent 3 months in New Mexico traveling Route 66 back to Duluth, MN. We have recently transplanted ourselves to Southern Florida.
ZiOs mobile's Hometown
Living now in Cape Coral, Florida on the gulf side. So far we are fortunate enough to be able to park our "van" in our driveway. But unfortunately, we can't offer space as hosts. We do have a fabulous guest room and if passing through you may be able park in the field across from us and stay in our home.

New Friend
ZIOs mobile arrived as a guest, but left as a friend. She is such an amazing woman, sharing tales of her adventures and tips for traveling as a lone person. She was gentle and loving to all of our animals and they adored her. I truly wish everyone of our guests could be like her! Travel on, dear friend!

Our First BoonDocker!!!
What a delight to have our first BoonDocker stay 2 nights with us here on the farm. We enjoyed our guest and hope she’ll return for another visit.
Looking forward to hosting more travelers as wonderful and as full of energy.
Thanks for sharing our little piece of heaven here in Alabama.

Very Friendly guest
ZiOs stayed with us one night. I enjoyed visiting with her. Unfortunately she was coming down with a very bad cold and was feeling pretty lousy. We would welcome her return anytime.

Welcome back any time.
We really enjoyed having this boondocker last March. I just realized now that I should leave recommendations for guests, we're still fairly new at this. It was a wonderful evening. She and Sitka are welcome back at any time.

Beautiful family, wonderful guests.
We had some very nice conversation for a few minutes just before their departure the next morning. Linda and I had a full calendar as usual but we always try to make time to get to know our guests even if it just for a few moments. Wonderful guests. We hope to see you again one day soon; perhaps when we start boondocking in our own RV. Safe travels!
